Ildefonso Soto Jr. Hello and thank you for picking up my book. you are correct about the grammatical errors, and this is about to be corrected within the next couple of weeks. I have had some major issues with a dishonest line editor however, I would love to send you a copy, free at charge, perhaps to a PO box if you have one. I can assure you that all of this will be to you liking. Also, I have a new book titled Bravado Brother no on Amazon and B & N. I will be more than happy to send you a copy...I am certain you will Enjoy it.
Ildefonso Soto Jr. Admittedly biblically indoctrinated; thankfully, apocalyptical scenarios or what one would envision, pre or post outcome of humankind’s outcome, has always been fascinating to me. Not so much based on personal interpretation, but because of the not knowing of the events (if you believe in it or not) that are destined because it’s humankinds’ ignorance.
Even to those that don’t believe that a higher purpose, or Omni-presence being exist, accepting and believing that the demise of the human race needs to be recognized.

With that being said, and being fearful of consequence, the consequential overture cannot be ignored and that alone is unavoidable and inspiring in idea.

It is after all what inspired me to write and cater to this particular genre.
Ildefonso Soto Jr. When I was a young boy, I read Herman Melville’s book: Moby Dick (1851) although verbally a great challenge, the story of a voyage on a horrifying cold Christmas day from the only surviving crewmember of the Pequod and the journey from Manhattan to New Bedford was inspiring. Not so much because of its eloquence, but because of its simplicity in plot. That takes talent. One I wish I can in words and explanation, express in flawless verbal detail.


Ildefonso Soto Jr. The sequel to Malleus Deus! (Latin for Hammer of God)
Ildefonso Soto Jr. If you are inspired to write…write, because there is always an audience out there who is willing to read what you have to say; whether they agree or not.

Don’t ever deny or cast aside your artistic quality. It is who you were meant to be!
Ildefonso Soto Jr. Expanding and harnessing the creative mind is the most extraordinary gift given to me by God! It has allowed me to articulate my most intimate and subconscious emotions that has allowed me to articulate voice without uttering a physical word.

What greater gift is given when a person cannot say in words but to place on paper for the world to read!
Ildefonso Soto Jr. Unfortunately writers block is unavoidable and extremely frustrating. I have at times, found myself stuck on one single page for as long as 8 days long. To alleviate such creative setbacks in my experience, is to self edit chapters to see if I can pick up the flow again however; when I really come to a creative dead end, I find myself writing random short stories as a form of distraction. Not only has it allowed me to pick up where I last left off on my main story, but often times I have used the actual short story as a premise to continue on my path of creativity and story formation.
